Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 177 Ghosts and Corpses

As night fell, Shang Liangshan appeared on the rock peak on time.

When he looked at Taoist Priest Liu and a group of young Taoist priests, he was surprised.

He didn't expect that Liu Yu would lead the team here at this time.

The meaning of this is obvious, to help the Forgotten Village safely get through the Ghost Festival.

"Haha, Liangshan, I haven't seen you for several months. Your cultivation has become more powerful." Liu Weizi stood up and greeted Shang Liangshan with a hearty laugh.

"Haha, isn't it the same for Taoist Liu? I'm afraid he has reached the bottleneck of the seventh level." Shang Liangshan said happily.

"It's still some distance away. By the way, this is something the elder asked me to bring you." Liu Weizi handed Shang Liangshan a space ring.

"What is it?" Yihuo asked curiously.

It’s really a good supporting role.

"It's the Xuanhuang crystal stone. Its purpose is to stabilize the Huawai Taoist field, generate the Xuanhuang Qi, help the temple spirits evolve into the embryonic forms of the sun and the moon, and consolidate the foundation of the Huawai Taoist land." Liu Yu explained.

"I feel unworthy of receiving such a precious item." Shang Liangshan handed the space ring back to Taoist Liu.

He didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

Liu Yu waved his hand and said: "The Xuanhuang Crystal Stone is indeed precious, but this is for other forces."

After saying that, he gave Shang Liangshan a look that said, "You understand."

Shang Liangshan did understand. He put away his space ring and said, "If that's the case, then I'm ashamed to accept it."

"That's right. By the way, Xiaohu was accepted as the last disciple by the elder." Taoist Priest Liu said with a strange look on his face as he looked at Shang Liangshan and said, "The elder said that it was your idea that Xiaohu became his disciple."

“As soon as these words came out, Xiaohu, who was originally a little hesitant, directly worshipped the elder as his master, which made the Grand Elder sigh.”

"..." Shang Liangshan now understood why Taoist Xuanzhen gave him such a valuable gift. It turned out to be hush money.

"Liang Shan, when did you say this..."

A "pop" sound interrupted Yihuo's words.

"If Taoist Xuanzhen says there is, then there is. Besides, Liangshan did say something, but you were not there at the time and didn't hear it." The old patriarch slapped Yifeng on the back of his head and glared at him.

"Yes, yes, Liang Shan did say that. I was there and he said it here." Yifeng nodded seriously and pointed to the pavilion.

"That's good, that's good." Taoist Priest Liu laughed.

"Hehe" the old patriarch, Yifeng, and Liu Yu also laughed, and these old foxes understood each other tacitly.

Yihuo Zaichun also understood and felt very depressed, thinking: "It's so hard to be an honest person!"

"Brother Tao, do you think ghosts are afraid of fireworks?" In the pavilion on the north side of the rock peak, Yang Chao, who was responsible for entertaining the disciples of Xuanxu Sect, asked Liu Taozi.

Liu Taozi thought for a moment and said, "Firecrackers can dispel filth, and so can fireworks. However, they will anger ghosts, so scaring them is not allowed, unless it means killing them."

"Kill?" Yang Chao muttered to himself, falling into deep thought.

Seeing this, Liu Taozi knew what he was thinking and said hurriedly: "Brother Chao, external things are only external things after all, your own strength is real."

"I understand." Yang Chao nodded and asked the disciples of Xuanxu Sect about the situation in the outside world.

Before he knew it, he had been in Forgotten Land for over a year.

After being depressed for a while, Yihuo remembered something and looked at Liu Weizi who had finished laughing and asked, "Master Liu, did Moer take the Grand Elder of your sect as his master?"

Upon hearing this, Taoist Priest Liu had to repeat the situation.

Yi Mo originally wanted to worship the Grand Elder of Xuanxu Sect as his master, but he killed Xuannv on the way to steal his disciple.

Xuannv is the title of the favored daughter of heaven in Xuanxu Sect and has a special status.

Xuannu is only 35 years old, but she has the cultivation level of a mid-eighth-grade cultivator and is capable of fighting against a ninth-grade cultivator. She is truly an astonishing talent.

The Grand Elder of Xuanxu Sect, who had initially been fond of the calligraphy, was reluctant to let it go.

Xuannv first played the emotional card, saying that she had never accepted a disciple so far, and asked the Supreme Elder to help her.

The Xuanxu Sect's Grand Elder remained unmoved.

Since the emotional card didn't work, Xuannv stopped talking nonsense and directly brought up her master.

Xuannu's master is the elder of Xuanxu Sect, one level higher than the supreme elder.

Now the Xuanxu Sect's Grand Leader had no choice but to admit defeat and mourn the loss of his beloved disciple.

At this point, Yi Mo became Xuannv's eldest disciple.

This matter became known to everyone in Xuanxu Sect, and everyone was talking about it.

Because of the existence of Yi Mo and Yi Xiaohu, Yi Ying and others also benefited from it. They were accepted as disciples by the true elders and have a bright future.

As the night deepened, as expected, an accident occurred again, accompanied by a "cackle" warning sound.

"Roar" sounds were heard everywhere, and pairs of green eyes appeared in the woods opposite the southwest village wall.

"They are corpses and ghosts." Shang Liangshan, who heard the interrogation, said to everyone.

"I'll go and help." Yihuo stood up and said excitedly.

The old patriarch glanced at him and said, "We'll see what happens. Don't forget, your mission is to guard the village."

"You and Liang Shan are here in the village, and now Taoist Priest Liu is here too. There is no need for me to be here."

"That makes sense. Go ahead, but don't interfere with Xiao Jiu and Chen Jun's command."

"I understand." Yihuo left excitedly.

"Liangshan, have you sensed any high-level ghosts or zombies?" After finishing the sensing, Taoist Liu looked at Shang Liangshan and asked.

"No, it should be a group of wandering ghosts and corpses." Shang Liangshan shook his head.

Taoist Priest Liu nodded in agreement.

"It's good that there are no strong enemies. After all, the strength of the military and civilians is limited." The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are there many ghosts and corpses?" Yifeng asked.

"More than 2,000, nothing to worry about." Shang Liangshan said calmly.

"What a waste of rockets." Yifeng calculated in his mind how many rockets would be needed to kill the corpses and ghosts.

They are not afraid of arrow wounds.

"Is this a warning?" Liu Taozi stood up after hearing the "creaking" sound and asked Yang Chao who also stood up.

"Yes," Yang Chao nodded and said, "Let's go and see what kind of ghost is attacking us."

"It should be so." The disciples of Xuanxu Sect responded and followed Yang Chao and walked quickly south.

The roar got closer, water splashed, the unique black air of ghosts rose, and the unique stench of corpses drifted in the wind.

"Ghosts and corpses are crossing the river. Get the torches ready and shoot the rockets at their heads." On the west wall, Chen Jun gave the order in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the soldiers and civilians responded in unison and began to prepare. In a moment, flames rose up.

There is a reason why the southwest wall of the village was the first to be attacked in recent days.

This is related to the market's defense circle. In addition, the existence of the dock defense circle allows the southwest wall to form an entrance.

Realizing the legacy of this problem, they considered blocking the entrance, but after thinking it over again and again, they gave up on plugging the gap.

Without this entrance, the market might be torn down, or even the enemy might have to take a different route through the farmland, which would be counterproductive.

It would be a good idea to leave this gap so that enemies with low intelligence can pour in, restricting their movements while causing large-scale casualties.

"Roar" bloodthirsty roars came one after another. The ghosts were the first to cross the river and launched an attack on the southwest wall of the village.
